This is a video produced by the City of Houston on what to do in the event of an active shooter. Kind of a public service announcement. Do you think it covers the options adequately? Remember most people aren't trained in any kind of self-defense. I see more of these coming in the near future. I actually think they have some merit

 

[Jeremy Haynes]

That's really a pretty good video and plan for the general public.

 

[Iggie]

I think its vaulable. Gives food for thought, and something to refer to.... just saddens me security is the first one shot...

 

[foghorn918]

It was done very well and provides good information.

I like how they showed the front door was posted no firearms. When will the Liberals ever realize the bad guys don't follow the rules, so no CCW holders can defend themselves other than by improvised weapons if it came to that.

I could see that type of video being adopted by companies as part of employee orientation and risk safety classes.

 

[Jefpainthorse]

I'd think that's plan A considering how many states write their CCW laws .

i just watch movies like commando and cobra to get a good idea of what i should do....

It's too bad concealed carry wasn't addressed, but at least there was weak-hand loading. This video seems like a decent public service announcement.

ahh how could i forget that classic

They considered it but something like 2% of Texans are licensed to carry concealed and they wanted a more general-interest video.

They could have filmed an alternate ending where a legally armed citizen ends it all before the first shot is ever fired!

I think more likely is after the first 2 or 3 shots.

True, but I didn't want to post on the inter-web what my real alternate ending would be like

Both sides lower their guns, eyes meeting in a look of mutual understanding and respect.

I like the video. Been aware of it for a few weeks. Pretty ballsy of a mayor to put the effort into this.

Close, but it really ends with a stare down between he and I with me giving him a teeth-click thingie ala' Iceman

You guys watch too many movies.

I think we are going to show it to our whole company. Then i am going to take down those stupid "no guns" signs on the doors. I don't know where they came from but they gotta go. Not that they matter because none of my friends ever de-gun when they come to my office.

 

[NL7CO]

I like the fact that they didn't put a political view into it. Door sign showing no weapons; run, hide, fight; cops are not there to treat the wounded.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

I liked the fact that they showed the door sign as well. Since this was filmed in TX, the door sign designates a place that is off-limits statutorily (aka killing zone).

Another thing that wasn't "funny" but I thought was interesting was when they said to try to help as many people as you can but "don't let them slow you down". I understand the point they were making but it seemed kind of harsh.
